55This was our first time using Sniffspot and we had a great time! I live in a very small apartment with 2 medium sized dogs so it was great we were able to have a space to ourselves where they could run around freely and safely. We definitely will be back and will recommend this spot to our friends!Alexandria R.

55I almost don’t want to say how great this spot is. It’s almost always booked already. 🤣 But it is as good as advertised. My Aussie who loves to go long chasing the Chuck-it ball had plenty of room to run. Also it was the first place I felt confident that my miniature dachshund couldn’t escape through any fence gaps and she ran as fast and as far as her little legs could carry her. Kit O.

55This was an amazing spot for my reactive puppy to get some energy out. Lots of room to run around and the host provided plenty of toys to keep my pup occupied! Fence seemed very secure. Whenever I am back in the area I will make sure to book this spot again!!Kaylynn H.

55Nice quiet, clean, open space for the pups to run around and sniff. My dogs loved playing with the toys and were grateful for the fresh water. They were exhausted after only 30 minutes!Kelsey F.

55This was a great spot! Lots of space and trees! There are some slight hills in the space which my dog LOVED rolling down! The provided toys were really nice and the amount of space was perfect and even greater than we expected! Highly recommend this spot!! Sophie Z.

55Kato and I had the best time!!! He’s reactive so rarely gets the chance to roam free and sniff and he absolutely loved it. The neighbor came out to let their dog out and they never came near the fence so it was perfectly safe for us. We found our new getaway 🤩👍🏻Danielle O.

FAQ about our Lorain dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Lorain area are 5 stars.
